Video game publisher Atlus has released the very first North American teaser trailer for Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan, the company's upcoming RPG for the Nintendo 3DS.

Celebrating the tradition of classic pen and paper role-playing games, Etrian Odyssey IV has players use the bottom touch screen to chart out paths, create maps, and identify encountered dangers. Furthermore, the game's deep character creation and party customization system encourages experimentation and rewards creativity and imagination.

This upcoming North American version of the game, which saw its original Nintendo DS release in Japan in 2007, features an enhanced graphics engine; upgradeable and customizable skyships that let players travel and battle amid the clouds; an exceedingly atmospheric and fully orchestrated musical score from Yuzo Koshiro; expanded, more immersive 3D dungeons with analog camera control; and guild card + character trading functionality via StreetPass.

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan will be available at retail and on Nintendo eShop for digital download on February 26, 2013 across North America.
